Analysis
Northern Europe recorded 4,926 TJ for food processing — energy use in 2023. That is the lowest value across all 34 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 39.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, food processing — energy use in Northern Europe peaked at 55,355 TJ in 1993 and was at its lowest, 4,926 TJ, in 2022.
That places Northern Europe 24th out of 30 groups with data for 2023, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain Emissions from Pre- and Post-Agricultural Production provides estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and related activity data associated with pre- and post-production stages of agrifood systems. The domain includes methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), fluorinated gases (F-gases) and their aggregates expressed in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq). Estimates are computed following Tier 1 methods of the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014) and are disseminated annually.
